On Thursday, June 15, 2023, TEMS Co., Ltd. will open the casual bar "E’cuve Komoro" inside Shinano Railway/JR Komoro Station.
By serving Shinshu wines, centered on the Chikuma River Wine Valley, along with "local flavors," they aim to revitalize the local railway and the surrounding region by attracting tourists.
Let's take a closer look at the details.
About "E’cuve Komoro"
"E’cuve Komoro" is a casual bar celebrating its grand opening inside Shinano Railway Komoro Station.
It will serve wines from all the wineries currently producing in Komoro City, as well as several neighboring wineries.
It is a one-of-a-kind casual bar that seems like it should have existed all along, allowing visitors to taste multiple wines at once from the Chikuma River Wine Valley, which boast popularity so high they are often difficult to obtain.
An Attractive Location
Komoro Station, where this casual bar is located, offers excellent accessibility, being just about 20 minutes by direct train from the popular nearby resort of Karuizawa.
The bar is designed to eliminate travel dilemmas such as "I can't drink because I'm driving" or "I don't have enough time to visit multiple scattered wineries," allowing guests to casually enjoy local wine.
It is an easy excursion for those using Karuizawa Station on the Hokuriku Shinkansen, and making convenient use of the railway is also expected to help eliminate drunk driving.
In addition, the location features an unusual layout with entrances from both the station platform side and the rotary side.
The structure is designed so that both train passengers and non-passengers can easily drop in, with a counter installed in the center to prevent walk-throughs.
From inside the bar, which has about 20 seats, guests can view trains stopped at the station up close and enjoy food and drinks while soaking in the atmosphere of travel.
Be sure to check it out when you visit Komoro Station.
